Relay for Life 2013




Wow, it's been one month since our Relay for Life night and I still haven't posted pics.  Thanks to all of our friends and family that donated and especially those of you who came out to the event.  A big shout out to those who ran a half marathon in the middle of the night in Mom's memory.  52 laps around a track at midnight can be tiresome and boring.  So thank you, Stephen Bolding, Kayla Farr, Sarah Smoke, and Sarah Joy Smith!  You are the best!  I really am lucky to be blessed with such wonderful friends.  I could not have survived the past year without them. Sarah Joy, Mary Margaret Hewitt, Tracy LeGrand, and Sarah stayed the whole night, and we were lucky enough to get packed up and out of there before the downpour.

Here are some photos:


Sarah Joy and me after a long night of no sleep and a lot of running!  Sarah Joy lost her brother, Peter, to cancer.  She has been such a great source of comfort and is one of the best people I know!  Love her!

Dad's roommate from Rabun Gap, Stephen and his wife came up from Georgia.  Mom was best friends with his wife while they were in high school.  This pic was taken at the halfway point of our half marathon- lap 26.

Brooklynn made a luminary in memory of Mom.

Sarah, me and Kayla sporting our Team Moxie shirts!  Don't worry Jess I still need to send yours!! :)

 The remaining few who stuck it out all night-  Tracy, MM, and me
Our group shot of those of us who ran 13.1 in memory of mom.  I'm so lucky to have such wonderful friends!
